The newest luxury resort in the British Virgin Islands opens to guests Feb. 11
Begin the new year – still fresh with promises of bright beginnings and big dreams – by scheduling a glorious, warm-weather vacation that releases the stresses from the old year. Schedule your rejuvenating, Caribbean getaway to Scrub Island, a luxury resort that's meticulously designed to fulfill your every desire and the first such development to open in the British Virgin Islands in 15 years.
Nestled on 230 acres of unspoiled tropical paradise, Scrub Island was discovered nearly 500 years ago by Christopher Columbus and remained relatively untouched for centuries. Today, this private sanctuary is home to Scrub Island, the island's first-ever development and a true haven from the cares of the outside world. Here are ten reasons to visit Scrub Island when planning a 2010 getaway:
- Be among the first guests to see and experience the pristine Scrub Island resort when it officially opens Feb. 11.
- Bring your boat to the Scrub Island Marina, which offers 55 deep-water slips, including five slips capable of accommodating yachts up to 150 feet, as well as supplies, diesel fuel, black water pump-out station, metered electricity, laundry facilities and more services.
- Experience a fishing excursion to the nearby Big Drop -- a world-famous spot known to offer the best marlin fishing in the Caribbean – and leave from Scrub Island Marina, the closest marina to Big Drop.
- Choose among any number of excursions available at the Scrub Island Marina, including diving tours to see sunken ships, snorkeling lessons that explore the beautiful sea life or day trips to experience the shopping and life on nearby islands.
- Fulfill your wellness resolution by enjoying a new, state-of-the-art exercise facility or by booking your stay with the five-night, six-day Living Abundantly package, developed with GeneSmart Wellness. The package includes coaching sessions with Floyd "Ski" Chilton, Ph.D., the author of such influential books as Inflammation Nation and his most recent, The Gene Smart Diet (Rodale, 2009).
- Be pampered in our new opulent spa or enjoy in-room massages.
- Savor succulent cuisine created by Scrub Island's world-class chefs while sipping fabulous Caribbean cocktails and other beverages.
- Take a dip in the dramatic lagoon pool with a cascading waterfall or relax under an umbrella on one of the pool area's comfortable chairs.
- Whisk your sweetheart off to one of the resort's discreet beach hideouts.
- Enjoy a selection of selection deluxe ocean view guest rooms or one- and two-bedroom suites all elegantly decorated to evoke the Old World Caribbean, with rich woods and vibrant colors that provide a feel of understated luxury. Rooms feature king-sized beds, large plasma televisions with satellite television, bamboo ceiling fans, air conditioning, and separate bathrooms.
There is one last reason to enjoy Scrub Island, although this one won't be around for all of 2010. Book with the soft opening special -- Preview a Private Island Paradise – and receive a $399 room rate from Feb. 11 through March 31. (The special, which includes daily breakfast and a nightly cocktail reception, can only be booked by calling the resort.)
